Myths may seem comforting but the fact that they are not the truth is ultimately destructive to a person or society.   

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Joh 8:32 To know the Truth means that we have:    → Heard it    → Believed it    → Received it    → Doing it See He Be Re Do.

Human beings were designed to be like our Creator Gen 1:27 who is Truth, Light and Life.   
To depart from Truth is to move into darkness and to reduce the quality of life.   

The move by modern society away from the Creator has resulted in a void that must be filled.   Some of the ways people fill the void are:
   → Distractions
   → Philosophy
   → Mythology

But none of these are satisfying because they are man`s creation and not the Creator.   

Especially problematic is the new mythology that is developing from its roots in science fiction and comics.   What was an innocuous dabble in a world of imagination has become a serious business consuming an inordinate amount of young people`s time and focus.   

Alternative realities are readily manufactured using CGI with amazing levels of realism.   Virtual reality devices are becoming more available to enable alternative realities to take shape.   

Coupled with the technological advances is the onslaught of story lines providing a more interesting context for life that is competing with the True reality of human existence.   This is the most distressing aspect of the trend.   

People must and will believe in something.   

We were created to be in relationship with our Creator, to enjoy and explore His creation as a part of our life with Him.   In Him we find our origin, our purpose and our future.   This is Truth.   

Mythology is not a viable substitute for reality though it can serve that purpose for those who never encounter their Creator or, for some reason or other, decide to forego what He offers in favor of vain pursuits.   

We must teach the Truth and explore the Truth so that we have a future in Truth and do not fade into the oblivion of imagination.   

The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Joh 10:10 The thief is Satan who is the inspiration for all the evil in the world.      Whereas the `I` is Jesus who offers us Eternal Life and Abundant Life.      This verse is a powerful statement contrasting the nature of the enemy with the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Note that the enemy takes by force what is ours, while we must appropriate by faith what is ours in Christ Jesus.      The appropriation is not a `one and done` thing.     Rather, it is an ongoing process throughout our lives on this earth.      Jesus has given us His life in giving us His Holy Spirit who is in every believer who has asked to be filled.     We aught to invoke His life into every aspect of our walk in the earth.

He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of the Holy Spirit has not life. 1Jn 5:12 Existence is not life.     This verse is speaking of Eternal Life and Abundant Life that come only to a person who has received Christ Jesus.     Those who don`t receive Christ never experience Eternal Life or Abundant Life.      By faith in Christ Jesus we receive the gift of Eternal Life, the Spirit Of Christ who is the Holy Spirit.      Jesus is the object of Faith.      The Holy Spirit is the object of fact.      We receive Him (Jesus) who can be seen, by faith so that we can receive Him (Holy Spirit) who cannot be seen by gift.
